Payton's Birthday

hi family how is it going
this week was good. i didnt get your packege yet but hopefully it will be there latter today or tommorrow. it takes longer for mail to arrive when im farther from the mission office. but i got nanas packege. the tie was awsome i got about ten people comenting in it. its yellow, hello yellow. but yea so i was talking to this guy and he said there is wipers all over oklahoma. its like the fish of the day. he was talking about fishing, and said there is this awsome fish that fights super hard and they travel around and pop up on the surface. and im like is that a whiper? and he was like you know about them. and i told him that its dad's favorite fish to catch. he said he could take me one time, but the only problem is that we cant go out in a boat. we can fish from the shore but not in the boat. 
on monday we went to like every store in the whole town. we were looking for those white canvas shoes to draw on for our next store neighbors daughter thats 10. i drew some for elder platt and for me. and now everybody wants a pair. i thought about charging for it but that would almost be preist craft. jk i dont know. but i dont think i will do it i dont have time any ways. we cleaned the house and said good buy to the other members in blanchard on tuesday. because our area is getting split in half, we coverd two branches and our area was about 100 miles long. so its good that it did that. because we were running out of miles any ways, plus its so much driving to get from place to place. but we said good bye to this family that has been less active for about ten years. and she was like you guys have changed my life and i wish my son was more like you. and then she tackaled me. she ran up and gave me a big bear hug, i was so shocked i fell over, not with her but after she let me go. it was crazy i didnt know what to do. but its good to feel loved. then we saw this family that has been struggling to pay the bills and to keep there testimony strong. we shared a message with them and gave the heavenly gift. the spirit was so strong there it was crazy good. they fed us dinner after and it was spagetti, really good but not as good as home. ok that remindes me of a story that i forgot to tell you last week. so me and elder platt were talking and i  asked him "is there any dish that you hate when your mom makes for dinner". and he was like i dont like her meat loaf, and then he asked me the same question, and i was like i hate when my mom make tatter tot carsaroll. then that night we went over to an investigators house. and taught them a lessson and then there like do you have dinner tonight? and we said no. and then there like we have extra food cooking in the oven. so were like sweet. and when they pulled it out it was tatter tot carasroll. just goes to show you to be great full and that god does have a sence of humor. 
but yea we said goodbye to this family and i asked them about there guitar on the wall. and there like one of the strings are broken can you fix it. so i said yes. i re stringed there guitar and tunned all the rest of the strings. they were so great full. and they let me play it for a second. i picked it up and relized that i didnt know how to play guitar any more. i wanted to play it like a uke. 
so wednesday was the 4th and trancfers. we didnt get to go because we had to baby sit a couple of other elders that couldnt go to tracfers ether. and since nether one of us was leaving we didnt have a need to go anyways. so we stayed home with the other three elders and played munchkins. it was fun. i was about to win and then i was fighting this level 17 monster. and then everybody decided to mess me up. by the end of all the monsters placed and the enhacer played it was a level 138. pretty crazy. elder wells came and he is super quiet. and shy. like he must have said three words the whole day. but he is an ok guy. he is from colorado. and his family is by the fires. there not super close but close enough to be worried. anyways we asked him all the  questions you would normally ask, but he played the pass card. like can i not awnser that question. i guess he doesnt want any one to know about him. kind of weird. 
so that night was the branch party, they had blow up houses and cotten candy and snow cones. it was awsome. i guess the branch pres does this for a living so he allready had the stuff to throw a party. it was fun we set up a booth and put books of mormon out and pamplets, not one took any but i guess thats ok. i brought my uke and i just walked around and people would ask me to sing for them. at one point i had a group of about 200 people watching me. i played some were over the rainbow, how can i be, armies of heleman, i like to look for rainbows, samule the lamanite, why cant you just write me a letter, and i'll follow you into the dark. it was awsome. ill admit it i like the attention. people were trying to give me money and stuff but i told them that i didnt want it. and instead they could listen to the missionary discutioins instead or invite a friend to be. it was awsome. the fire works were great. and i got alot of pics of them. 
the rest of the week was good. lots of work going on. elder wells left for blanchard so im not comps with him any more. 
my birthday was good, best birthday of the mission. elder platt woke me up at 12:01 and sang me a song. i was pissed but i didnt let him know that. he filmed it on my camara so i got the video of it. but the rest of the day was kind of normal. church and stuff. this guys talked in church and his talk was good but then he started talking about aliens, and UFO's and how there is life on other planets and that he has seen them before. im really glad the no investigators showed up that day. or we would have alot of explaining to do. 
well thats it for this week. i love you guys so much and i miss you and i will talk to you next week.
yea your write i didnt send that letter yet. i didnt have time to go to the post office.
love you so much
